・Chicken dumpling soup with miso by Layered vegetable cooking, known as Kasane-ni (重ね煮) in Japan
It is a harmonious method that emphasizes the balance between Yin and Yang, bringing harmony to your plate and well-being to your body and mind.
Kasane-ni is a simple method where vegetables are stacked in a specific order and cooked with a small amount of water.
As they simmer, the air and moisture circulate naturally, bringing out the vegetables' sweetness and creating a deep, harmonious flavor.

Keiko
I grew up in Nara, and now live in Shiga, near Kyoto, with my husband and our Golden Retriever SUN, who loves welcoming guests. For over ten years, I taught Japanese home cooking in Kyoto and cooked with thousands of international guests. Since 2015, I have been an instructor of Kasane-ni — a simple, healthy, and delicious Japanese layered cooking method. Meeting people from around the world through food brings me joy, and I hope to share that warm experience with you.
